Friday, 16 July 2010. Classic Airframes Bristol Blenheim Mk.If - 1/48 Scale. With the various 70th Anniversary.

During the Battle of Britain. The first subject is the fighter version of the Bristol Blenheim Mk.I. Built from the Classic Airframes. Range However, once the transparencies were in place it became evident that there was a f...

The Modeller's Blog: Vickers VC-10 1/144 scale
http://themodellersblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/vickers-vc-10-1144-scale.html
Sunday, 31 January 2010. Vickers VC-10 1/144 scale. The VC-10 holds a special place in the hearts of many aviation enthusiasts, few aeroplanes can come close to, and I would contend, that none can surpass it for sheer elegance. It is one of those aircraft that just has that certain something extra about it - call it charisma if you like. The kit engines were discarded and substituted with Bra.Z Models resin replacements picked up at Scale Modelworld, click link below for their full range of resin kits.
